Join Montpelier as they celebrate Constitution Day with free open house tours, hands-on family-friendly activities, a buffet lunch, live music, and more!
The U.S. Constitution has been described as the hinge point in world history: the moment when the dominant form of government began to change from monarchy to democracy. As the lifelong home of James Madison - Father of the Constitution, Architect of the Bill of Rights - and fourth president of the United States - Montpelier celebrates Constitution Day to honor the fundamental ideas of natural rights, individual liberty, democracy, citizenship, and rule of law that continues to shape American life and inspire people around the world.
